The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species provides taxonomic, conservation status and distribution information on taxa that have been globally evaluated using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. This system is designed to determine the relative risk of extinction, and the main purpose of the IUCN Red List is to catalogue and highlight those taxa that are facing a higher risk of global extinction (i.e. those listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered and Vulnerable). The IUCN Red List also includes information on taxa that are categorized as Extinct or Extinct in the Wild; on taxa that cannot be evaluated because of insufficient information (i.e. are Data Deficient); and on taxa that are either close to meeting the threatened thresholds or that would be threatened were it not for an ongoing taxon-specific conservation programme (i.e. are Near Threatened). ...

The literature database of the vegetation ecology of central Europe of the Braunschweig University Library is a current database in which scientific publications about the flora and vegetation of Central Europe are indexed. Until now, the focus has been on Germany; indexing of the relevant publications for Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy, and Slovenia is planned. The adjacent areas are also taken into consideration in the selection. Currently ca. 11000 publications have been indexed whereby the data are continually updated and expanded. A special feature of the database is that scientists who are active in this area can themselves enter records of their publications into the database via the World Wide Web. Their entries are stored directly in the database and are then immediately searchable worldwide. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
The World Database on Protected Areas is the result of a collaboration between UNEP-WCMC and the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA).

Die Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft hat als ersten Schritt zu einer vom Netzwerk der biologischen Stationen Deutschlands geplanten Homepage eine Liste der Stationen ins Netz gestellt. Diese soll eine Übersicht über die in Deutschland vorhandenen Stationen, ihr Angebot, ihre Kapazität und Nutzungsmöglichkeiten für Exkursionen und Kurse geben. Unter biologischen Stationen werden hier Feldstationen verstanden, die von Universitäten oder anderen öffentlichen Trägern mit wissenschaftlichem und technischem Personal betrieben werden und für die Durchführung von Exkursionen und Praktika von Studierenden verschiedener Universitäten sowie für biologische Kurse genutzt werden können. ...

Mit dem Umweltatlas Hessen wird der interessierten Öffentlichkeit ein Überblick über wichtige Umweltdaten gegeben. Die Entwicklungstrends zeigen auf, in welchen Umweltbereichen zufrieden stellende Ergebnisse erzielt wurden und auf welchen Gebieten noch besondere Anstrengungen erforderlich sind. Die aktuellen Kartendarstellungen und die dazugehörenden Textbeiträge wurden in die üblichen Fachbereiche unterteilt. Der Karteninhalt basiert entweder auf Primärdaten oder resultiert aus der Verschneidung dieser Basisinformationen, so dass abgeleitete neue Informationen entstanden sind. Die Darstellung erfolgt entweder als statisches Bild oder aber in den Fällen, bei denen die Fachinformationen ansonsten nicht mehr erkennbar gewesen wären, als zoombare Karte. ...

Worldwide, thousands of animal and plant species are threatened with extinction. Even in Switzerland more than 3000 animals and plants appear in the so-called Red List of threatened species. Without appropriate protection measures many of these species may soon vanish forever. This website serves to demonstrate the dramatic situation of species threat, and to present the threatened species. At the same time, the political responsibilities are stressed ─ both of the Republic, the Cantons, and the Communes, but also of every individual. Finally, information about active, and planned, protective action for the benefit of threatened species will be found here. The overall objective of this website is to awaken the broadest possible public interest and understanding for the concerns of species protection. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
